OUR ETHOS

The prospect of a business facing the threat of ceasing as a going concern has widespread ramifications. The transition of a business through periods of financial uncertainty and distress, whether it involves either re-organisation or progressing into external administration, may involve a number of complex components.

Meertens has the expertise to guide business owners and directors through such challenging times; its steadying hand and strong relationships with professionals in other industries, whom it can turn to for confidential expert advice as and when required, provides reassurance to the stakeholders of a business during any transition period.

Meertens engages with any prospective matter in a respectful and careful manner and treats any information passed to it in utmost confidence.

In addition to seeking optimal solutions that present the best and highest outcome for all stakeholders concerned, Meertens’s foremost priority in formal appointments is to engage proactively with creditors and employees by way of timely and responsive communications.
